Follow these simple steps to make your apple fritter bites:

Preparing the Fritter Bites

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   • In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, kosher salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir well to ensure the baking powder is evenly distributed.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil and granulated sugar until well blended. Add the large egg, vanilla extract, and unsweetened applesauce to the mixture. Whisk again until smooth.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
   • Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined—be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the diced apples.
5. Scoop and Shape:
   • Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the batter and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are spaced apart to allow for even baking.
6. Bake:
   • Bake the fritter bites in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Then, switch the oven to broil.

Preparing the Apple Cider Glaze

7. Mix the Glaze:
   • In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar and apple juice. Stir until the glaze is smooth and free of lumps.
8. Glaze and Broil:
   • Brush some of the apple cider glaze over the warm fritter bites. Broil them for 2-4 minutes, rotating often until the glaze is bubbly and slightly caramelized.
9. Final Touch:
   • Brush the remaining glaze on top of the fritter bites. Let them sit for about 15 minutes before serving to allow the glaze to set.
